Question

A certain mass of a substance, when dissolved in 100gC6H6, lowers the freezing point by 1.28C. The same mass of solute dissolved in 100g water lowers the freezing point by 1.40C. If the substance has normal molecular weight in benzene and is completely ionized in water, into how many ions does it dissociate in water?
(Given:Kf for H2O and C6H6 are 1.86 and 5.12Kkgmol1)

Solution

The correct option is C 3 ions
In benzene, substance lowers the freezing point by 1.28o C.

1.28=1×Kf×molality

1.28=1×5.12×molality

Molality =0.25

In water , substance lowers the freezing point by 1.40o C

1.40=1×Kf× molality ×i

1.40=1×1.86×0.25×i

i=3
